Environmental Justice

Environmental JusticeEJ work isn't simply about supporting systems that are sustainable on our fragile planet, but about asking the question "Who reaps the benefit and who bears the burden of our modern industrial society?" It's critical to remember that marginalized, oppressed people are more vulnerable than others and that all the choices we make are not ours alone; we are accountable to the planet and all her species.

Community GardenAt the First Unitarian Society, we have started a community garden. Plots are available to members and to the community. Growing our own food is a fun way to reduce carbon footprints and to make sure good food is equally accessible to everyone in our community.

Food JusticeUnitarian Universalists have been concerned about food justice for many years. You can connect through the UUA's Food Justice web site, a Facebook page and list Serve where you can continue the conversation. If you're interested in climate justice, check out our Commit2Respond page.

Green Sanctuary TeamYou can also join our Green Sanctuary Team. Working to green our building and our congregation, to alter our habits and help us learn how to face our new reality, together, this team meets monthly and is always open to new members.
